Independent MP Zali Stegall says fuel efficiency standards are a mechanism for importers to have a certain “budget of emissions” for all the cars they import.
Ms Stegall told Sky News Australia that importers “can choose” the types of vehicles they bring into Australia.
“What it does is it increases competition and choice.
“Choice and safety standards and efficiency standards in our cost-of-living crisis are incredibly important.
“We know car manufacturers are building and introducing electric models of utes, of tradie vehicles, of vans.”
